  1. The Life Cycleof Animals Wanda is a Wonderer. Can you help her find the answers to her wonders?

  2. “Well hello there, Mr. Frog. How are you today?” says Wanda. “Wait a second,” says Wanda, “I wonder how what this big frog looked like as a baby?” • Can you tell Wanda or do you wonder too? • Click here to show Wanda the life cycle of a frog. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce5_Vk_yNcY “Very Ribbit… and you?”

  3. “Wow did you see that!” cries Wanda. That was incredible, I wonder what that is called? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ • Can you tell Wanda what we call this process of change a frog undergoes? • If you need help check this out • http://kids.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/english/entry/metamorphosis

  4. “Wow!” Says Wanda, “I wonder if any other animals go through a metamorphosis?” Can you help Wanda with her wondering? Do you know of another animal that goes through a metamorphosis? Check this out and see if it gives you any hints. http://www.kidzone.ws/animals/lifecycle.htm

  5. Wow! I love butterflies, I wonder what their metamorphosis is like?” • Can you describe a butterfly’s life cycle for Wanda? • If you need some help check this out • http://www.cocoon.org/ • If you want to see the real thing click here • http://www.follenderwerks.com/galleries/the_monarch_butterfly/monarch_anim.htm

  6. “Wow, How beautiful. I wonder if I can remember all that?” says Wanda. • How about you, can you remember the stages of the life cycles? • Click here to try it • http://teams.lacoe.edu/documentation/classrooms/judi/life/activities/cycles/life_cycles.html

  7. Now Wanda starts wondering what it would look like if we compared many different animal’s lifecycles. “Hhhmmm,” she thought. I know what a frog and butterfly’s life cycle looks like I wonder about a spider’s, a shark’s, I wonder about a dragonfly or even a penguins life cycle is like?” Can you help her out, look at the list on the next slide for help.

  9. “I wonder if we can remember what we learned?” • Can you tell Wanda the stages of the life cycle of a frog?
